Several studies investigated factors hindering, influencing or significant to technology acceptance. Unfortunately, comparing technology acceptance in terms of two or more developing countries seems not fully investigated, especially in the area of learning via web in the developing countries, rather than developed countries. This study employed technology acceptance model (TAM) to compare the factors affecting e-learning among the Nigeria and Philippines students, modules/part-time students in universities approved for specified technology considered as the unit of analysis. AMOS-SPSS utilized to the analyse sum of 1306 responses for the two counties. Hypothesized; electric supply, technical resources, ease to use and perceived usefulness on e-learning supported, 69% and 80% variance explained of the study achieved. Although, electric supply regressed on perceived ease not supported. Thus, recommended the replication of this study to increase the generalizability of achieved results.

  • International Education Guide
    International Education Guide FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF EDUCATION FROM THE PHILIPPINES Welcome to the Alberta Government’s International Education Guides The International Qualifications Assessment Service (IQAS) developed the International Education Guides for educational institutions, employers and professional licensing bodies to help facilitate and streamline their decisions regarding the recognition of international credentials. These guides compare educational systems from around the world to educational standards in Canada. The assessment recommendations contained in the guides are based on extensive research and well documented standards and criteria. This research project, a first in Canada, is based on a broad range of international resources and considerable expertise within the IQAS program. Organizations can use these guides to make accurate and efficient decisions regarding the recognition of international credentials. The International Education Guides serve as a resource comparing Alberta standards with those of other countries, and will assist all those who need to make informed decisions, including: • employers who need to know whether an applicant with international credentials meets the educational requirements for a job, and how to obtain information comparing the applicant’s credentials to educational standards in Alberta and Canada • educational institutions that need to make a decision about whether a prospective student meets the education requirements for admission, and who need to find accurate and reliable information about the educational system of another country • professional licensing bodies that need to know whether an applicant meets the educational standards for licensing bodies The guides include a country overview, historical educational overview, description of school education, higher education, professional/technical/vocational education, teacher education, grading scales, documentation for educational credentials and a bibliography.
